I am making this to let everyone know that the coolest guys in the world belong to La Barra Brava..please forgive me if I forget you, or misspell a name as I am still slightly inebriated..Im sure most of you guys are still at the postgame anyway Rob - For being the first guy to really talk to me, introduce me, and commend me for not pussing out because I had to come alone.. Chico - Thanks for welcoming me right in, getting me initiated. It was an honor to light that bottle rocket for you and it really made my day. Oscar - For still talking to me after all those annoying emails I sent him . Also putting up with the annoying as s*** guards who kept trying to ruin our fun. Owen and Bro - For leading the chants, talking to me and introducing me to tons of people whose names I have no hope of remembering Mckinley(the black guy who was with me the WHOLE game) - You are seriously one of the coolest and kindest people Ive ever met. Gave me your extra ticket, introduced me to more people, let me bogart your beer, and cheering like hell in la barra Grillmaster - For the awesome italian sausage, I thank you. Thanks to everyone else for making my first experience in La Barra unforgetable(even though we got screwed by the ref in the end)..cant wait to see everyone next week.
Good to have you join us. Sorry it turned out the way it did, but we'll all be there next week. I'm starting to wonder if we're all just gluttons for punishment.
Yeah, what a ************ way for the game to end. Now that Im sobered up I can still safely say that this was seriously one of the best experiences of my life..cant wait to see everyone again on saturday..maybe this time the ref wont screw us. Im gonna go back to sleep after I drink about 9,000 more glasses of water and try and kill this raging hangover
Which reminds me, while it was great welcoming NattyBo into our ranks it was also sad to say goodbye to Rolando a long time Brother. Rolando was with the Barra since about 98. He always had a plate of food for you and some of you might remember his "EVIL NASCAR" cup. I never quite knew what he poured in that thing, but it was tasty and it worked.A great Barra member and a great friend. Vaya Con Dios Amigo. We'll miss you.......
He's moving to Florida with his girlfriend later this week. He has an open invitation to come up whenever he wants for a weekend and crash at my crib. Hope he takes me up on it......
Welcome man. Glad you had a great time. Even when the team doesn't win, I think the Barra does. Half the fun of comming to a match is hanging out with everybody. One of the saddest parts of the year for me is the last tailgate of the season. You're in for one heck of a ride this season. Just wait till the Scum match. One thing though. When refering to la barra......Capitalize! I got wore out on the boards for mispelling Barra Brava!!
